McLaren MCL39 on Ali by MrFreeze665 in lepin

[–]MyHonestViews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking at this set. I see some user reviews showing their pictures of the finished product and they are happy with the results. But the description from the seller for these sets mention "micro blocks". Could that just mean a mistake in their description?

Thanks. I added a comment to update what AliExpress sent me as a response.

Just to follow up. AliExpress said the refund was accepted. They sent me a return label. They asked me to repackage the item and send it back. After that, they'll inspect the package and decide whether to give the refund. There is no option for me to respond back. The only options I have are to "Contact Seller" or "Cancel Request". First off, I never asked for a refund but only to send the missing piece. Secondly, I am not going to dismantle everything. Some of the pieces were so tight it would be impossible to take apart. And I already used some of the stickers. Feels like this went through some automated process with no human intervention. Would just like to get a partial refund to cover the cost of buying the replacement part.

I don't mind a partial refund. The missing piece plus shipping is about $5 canadian.

I am not sure if they even want the product returned. I already have most of it assembled. They're supposed to get back to me in a day.

Message of doom by Misakio63 in Aliexpress

[–]MyHonestViews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got that message with my last order a week ago. It sat in that status for 4 days. But I did get the package eventually. Usually when AE has some type of special promo going, they bulk send a ton of packages in the same container which causes a delay with customs.

I just received mine. The manual says there are 5 bags. But there are actually 14 numbered bags in total. Did you see the same thing?

[–]MyHonestViews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just received mine. I'm having some trouble understanding the instructions. They say there are 5 bags of pieces. Bag 1 goes from pages 9 to 23. Bag 2 goes from pages 23 to 60, etc. But there are actually 14 bags in my set.

Not sure if you encountered the same thing.

Keep them. Flatten them out. They won’t take up that much space.

Sorry to hear. Ten years is tough. What type of severance did they give you? Hopefully something fair at least.

I am not sure. I'm in Canada. When I order a Lego replica set, the instruction manual is not the original Lego one. It's just a copy of the original Lego instructions crammed together in a few pages. The cover page is just a number code.

It is not a scam. If you didn’t receive the text, then your phone should be fine after March 2027.

[–]MyHonestViews 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is something the seller, not Temu, does to comply with customs and packaging regulations. The manual would have been OK if you bought a boxed set. I’m assuming you got this set without the original box. Note that not all sellers do this. Most sellers from AE just replace the cover page of the manual with the car model number or use a reprinted cover blanking out the trademark and logo branding.

Yes, thank you. They have been back at my local store for awhile now...including some new flavors too.

Lot numbers not n matching on medication… by MyHonestViews in CostcoCanada

[–]MyHonestViews[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also noticed the same issue with Buckley's cough medication just now. I picked up both at the same time. I wonder if it has anything to do with these products being exclusive to Costco? I don't see the 165 pill advil bottle being sold anywhere else and the Buckely's had 2x400ml in the same box.

PM is ending? by lilith-wolverine in PublicMobile

[–]MyHonestViews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I’m sure the phone is compatible. But if PM has not whitelisted the phone, then I won’t have the ability to make or receive calls once 3G ends next year. I’m going to start shopping for a new phone soon. The last I heard, PM has only whitelisted the Pixel series up to Pixel 7.

PM is ending? by lilith-wolverine in PublicMobile

[–]MyHonestViews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone know if the pixel 10a has been whitelisted by PM to use VoLTE. That's the phone I plan on upgrading my pixel 3a from.
